New & Used 2026 Mercedes-Benz CLA for Sale near Elgin, ON

Mercedes redesigns the CLA compact sedan as an EV.

In the past, if you’ve wanted an all-electric Mercedes-Benz sedan, you had your choice of the EQE or EQS. Not only are both these cars on the large side, but the design language is an acquired taste. They’re not ugly by any stretch of the imagination, but they’re still not the prettiest of the bunch. Oh, and they’re pricey to boot.

But for the 2027 model year, Mercedes is launching the third generation of the compact CLA with an electric powertrain. Officially called the Mercedes-Benz CLA with EQ Technology, this entry-level fastback sedan (to be joined by a gas-powered version at a later date) offers impressive range and all the tech you’ve ever wanted in a compact luxury car.

Verdict: The new Mercedes-Benz CLA is an exciting next step in the development of Mercedes-Benz electric vehicles. The base model is not the quickest car in the stable, but it provides comfortable, easy transportation.
